I've checked both my Type 1 & 2 Contentnea's, and came up with a close match to the Bourquise player in type 1. The type 2 player is Bourquin, listed with the Wilmington team. Facial look, is very close. I looked at both cards, and they both facially looked alike. If anyone has the type 1 Bourquise, and type 2 Bourquin ... and is not scan challenged like me ... please scan whichever one you have.  Uh oh, now we're being told that no such type 2 Bourquin was around the Wilmington team ... the plot thickins.  Hey guys. I only collect the cards In comparison to some of our current major grader/authenticators mis identifyers --- those guys back in the early 1900's didn't do a bad job. But they have made our research interesting. Who were those mask men???

Leon, very good question, I am at work so most of my reference material is at home (& not in front of me) but the closest match I can find to either of those two names is there was a David Bourquen that played for the Bridgeport team of the Connecticut State League in 1909. I'm not saying this is the guy or anything but that s the closest I can come.
-Rhett Edited to add, there was a Fulton, NY team from 1905-07 in the Empire State League but there isn't any info on the actual players for that team. It is conceivabe that Bourquen played for Fulton,NY in 1907 and went to CT by 1909 (not too far away). It is a stretch but not totally out of the question.

Just to muddy the waters a bit, there was also a player named Arthur J. Bourgeois that there is a record for that played in 1902 and then also in 1909 & 1910 --all for Wisconsin area teams.

There was a Fulton, Kentucky team( Fulton Colonels) in the KITTY league in 1911, if that is of any help.
